Shield of Odin Sponsors Fundraiser to Support Future Coast Guard Leaders

In a commendable effort to support the next generation of maritime leaders, Shield of Odin has teamed up with Heros of the Sea to sponsor a charitable dinner aimed at benefiting the U.S. Coast Guard Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC). This event is set to take place at Seven Sounds in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and aims to raise an impressive $75,000.

A Commitment to Leadership and Training

The funds generated from this dinner will be crucial in providing advanced training resources for cadets. Specifically, they aim to acquire a state-of-the-art boating and flight simulator, enhancing the cadets' practical training experiences. Additionally, the fundraiser will contribute to scholarships for students preparing for careers in the Coast Guard and related maritime services.

Dean Johnston, COO of Shield of Odin and a proud board member of Heros of the Sea, expressed his commitment to the cause: "Heros of the Sea has a proven track record of supporting Coast Guard families during their most challenging times. Our sponsorship and participation in this event reflect Shield of Odin's dedication to invest in the futures of those who will safeguard our coastlines and lead in the maritime sector."

By sponsoring this fundraiser, we align our values with our actions, ensuring that future Coast Guard leaders receive the training and opportunities they rightfully deserve."
